The men’s 1000m short track final had to be one of the stupidest races I’ve ever seen. It was stopped halfway when a skate blade fell off onto the ice and they restarted. It turned into an endurance race with skaters trailing off at the halfway point and the two clearly gassed leaders, a Hungarian and Chinese, basically wrestled to the finish line with the Hungarian disqualified. Took some legitimacy away from the event and raised more questions about the officiating.
